| Ruth reading Amy's words at the funeral |
It is with a heavy heart that
we return to Burkina Faso, our beloved African home. Our scheduled return date
was January 27.Then the horrific terrorist attack took the life of our friend
and colleague, Mike Riddering on January 15 in Ouagadougou. We were able to
change our flights and arrive in time to be with Amy and his family in Yako.

| Laid to rest in Yako |
Mike was passionate about
everything he did. He lived his life to the fullest and was greatly loved. His
funeral and burial was a real testament to the lives he touched for Christ and
the impact he had on so many people.
" I have fought the good fight,I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness,which the Lord will award to me on that day-and not only to me,but also to all who have long for his appearing." 2 Timothy 4:7-8
